Moving Companies in Hattiesburg, MS
Local movers in the Hattiesburg and Pine Belt area typically bill by the hour based on crew size. A standard two-person crew with a truck averages $100 to $125 per hour, while larger jobs needing three or four movers run $150 to $200 or more per hour. The median cost for a standard local residential move in the area sits around $1,284, with most jobs taking roughly two to four hours of active labor depending on home size and how much you own.
Smaller moves, like a single room or a studio apartment, tend to run $560 to $800 or more, while moving out of the area entirely shifts pricing away from an hourly rate toward one based on weight and volume, typically starting around $1,800 for a one-bedroom-equivalent load and rising from there for larger homes.
Getting a detailed inventory walkthrough rather than a rough phone quote helps avoid a price that climbs once the crew is on site, and confirming crew size against your home's actual volume ahead of time keeps the hourly total predictable.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Forrest County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 40% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
